"It is we who would pray for you, my FRiend."

And I you.

Please note that I formed my statement as a syllogism in which the premise was one who would see Catholics or Protestants as a greater evil than secular humanism or radical Islam. If you think that then I do recognize the depth of your spiritual despair. If you hold hatred in your heart for those whom you believe love God, however imperfectly, you are absent the Holy Spirit. If you believe that I do not love God then you are tragically wrong. To believe you are somehow elect while holding that hatred is the sin of presumption.

Peace be with you.

Please re-read my posts. I have no hatred for anyone, lost or otherwise. Perhaps you project. But, in any case, you did not follow my remark very closely. I simply said, Rome has enslaved its millions, the way Islam has misled its millions; Rome has misled its millions. No bombed children connection with Rome, my FRiend. Just a similarity with numbers. You were the one originally attempting to connect me to the Islamic world.

"That is a point on which you and the Islamic world agree,"

And, certainly presumption would be wrong.
